Yes, this. The point is to reduce probablities of git-merge conflicts. And if they occur, resolving merge conflict in hunk of 'include's is much simplier than is hunk, containing non-trivial code. I also considered using include debian/config/*.mk but decided against it, because it is likely to cause delete/modify conflicts. -- Note, that I send and fetch email in batch, once in a few days.
